## Description

Lightning Alerts is a live lightning tracker and storm map with nearby alerts powered by enterprise-grade lightning data.  
  
Open the map without creating an app account. Check recent strike activity before travel, golf, hiking, boating, surfing, fishing, open-water activities, or everyday weather planning. The map can show both ground-reaching and intracloud strikes. Ground mode helps filter cloud flashes so busy storms are easier to read.  
  
What you can see:  
\- Live map of recent strike activity  
\- Nearby alerts for your location or a saved place  
\- No app account required to open the map  
\- Ground-reaching and intracloud strike types  
\- Ground mode to reduce cloud-flash noise  
\- Closest-strike distance, age, direction, and street context  
\- Strike strength, polarity, and detailed strike type  
\- Polarity filter: show only positive or only negative ground and cloud strikes  
\- Strength filter and Find \> Strongest in view  
\- Find \> Strike history: the last 7 days around your location or saved place, with storm replays  
\- Camera aim: where to point your camera and how far to tilt it for red sprites above a distant storm  
\- Weather radar with strikes on the same map  
\- Save one place you care about  
\- Clear controls for alerts, ads, privacy, and analytics  
\- Optional Pro subscription: no ads and unlimited storm replays  
  
Use Lightning Alerts before you head outside, while storms are nearby, or when you want a clearer view of activity around a place. Choose the strike filter, inspect the closest strike, and use notifications to return to the live map when activity changes.  
  
Photographers and sprite chasers can show only positive ground strikes, which are less common and often stronger. Tap a strike to see its distance and direction.  
  
Lightning Alerts is a weather awareness tool, not an emergency warning system. Always follow official weather alerts, local rules, and venue safety guidance.
